Tho Euisances of Paris.

The boulevard is becoming more and more
disagreeable, owing to the continual increase
of professions Of ragged sandwich men, who
by day carry hugo placards mounted banner
wise on poles, and by night transparent adver-
tisements in the shape of lanterns or luminous
tambourines Hetters, cheap jewelers. music
hall keepers showmcn of all kinds and of all
grades resort to this method of obtaining
publicity and impeding circulation. Another
nuisance is the bowling "camelot," who deals
in second class newspapers and broadsheets
and bawls his ware from morning until mid
night. News, scandal and pornography share
in almost equal proportions the attention of
these hoarse voiced and horrible creatures,
whose presence and whose cries render the
boulevards a most disagreeable promenade.
The other day Il gronp of artists processing
an ardent love for Paris, and having at their
head the great Meissonier, protested against
the erection Of the 900 foot Eiffel tower, on
the ground that it would disfgure and dis
honor Paris, the queen of cities. In the inter-
est of Paris it would be perhaps advisable to
protest against the Disagreement of the streets
OF the capital by these crowds Of sandwich
men and bawling hawkers Liberty is doubt
less an excellent thing, but in Paris we are
beginning to have too much of it, With its
streets and gardens, its monuments, its the
aires, its lne houses and its mild climate,
Paris ought to be a favorite winter city But
if the authorities do not look to it, and if the
Parisians do not themselves make an effort
toward Gayety and elegance, Paris viii soon
become neither favorite winter city nor a
favorite summer city.-Theodore Child in

For GOOD PURPOSES.

Mrs. NJ. A. Dauphin, of Philadelphia, is
well known to the ladies of that city from
the great good she has done by means of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compoun
She writes Mrs. Pinkham of recent in
teresting case. "a young married lady
came to me suffering with severe case of
prolapsu5 and liberation. She COM
menced taking the Compound, and in two
months was fully restored. In proof of
this she soon found herself in an interest
ing condition. Influenced by foolish
friends she attempted to evade the re-
sponsibllities of maturity. After ten or
twelve days she came to me again and she
was indeed in most alarming state and
suffered terribly. 1 gave her table,
spoonful of the compound every hour for
eight hours until she fell asleep. She
awoke much relieved, and evidently bet

and in due season she became the mother
of fine, healthy boy. But for the timely
use of the medicine she believes her life
would have been lost"

REPORTING A. SECRET CAUCUS.
Watching the Shadows of the Speakers.
Making Up Fair Report.

II remember one occasion, more than
twenty years ago, when the representatives OF
| several papers were directed to learn all they
could about a secret caucus. Each man was
on his metal, but all were kept at safe dis
dance from the room in which the noted poll
ticians met. When the meeting was called to
order the reporters were in despair, because
they were under guard, as it were, in q room
separated from the assembly hall by wide
corridor, or so situated that they could see
nothing and hear nothing. But it so happened
that along that side Of the hall we're num-
Der of low windows The heavy ground glass
prevented thos9 who used the corridor from
seeing what was going on within, but ad.
mitted the light
"As tie seven OF eight newspaper men wer1
sitting disconsolate, looking across 10 the
caucus room, the shadow of a man appeared
on the glass Of the almost continuous window
extending along the side. Some ono had
mounted the chair to address the chairman Of
the meeting, and the boys recognized him by
hi gestures. In the midst of what appeared
to be rather exciting speech he was pulled
down from behind, and another man little
further to the front popped up. The new
speaker was recognized by the contour of his
head and the cut of his clothes. The reporters
scattered at once to different points of obser-
walton, and when the caucus ended they had
pretty fair record Of tho persons who had
spoken. Knowing how the speakers stood on
the question before the meeting, they made
up from their shadow pantomime certain
representations as to what was said, on
which they interviewed every man whose
shadow they had seen on the ground glass of
tho windows.
"Going to one man reporter would S; =
Baker talks too much with his hands, doesn't
heF and then he would go through the ges-
lures characteristic of Mr.. Baker when he
was much excited, accompanying them with
certain declarations of his own This would
be greeted with laugh and corrections would
be made. To another man another reporter
would say that his remarks had been criti-
cised by some one who mimicked his gestures
and who gave out the impression til at tho old
gentleman had made goose of himself and
the reporter would indulge in sorle extrava-
CANT gestures characteristic of tie speaker
This would be followed by an in lignant de-
NAL and by hasty statement of what he did
say. Working in this way the seven men be-
fore midnight had by comparing notes and
observations written out q pretty fair report
of what occurred inside the hall. Inter

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who has
used Boschee's German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing consum ption, severe
coughs, Group, asthma, pneumonia, and in
fact all throat and lung diseases. No per-
son can use it without immediate relief.
Three doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty of all druggists to
recommend it to the poor, dying consump-
tive, at least to try one bottle, as $4,000
dozen bottles were sold last year, and no
one case where it failed was reported.
Such medicine as the German Syrup
cannot be too widely, known. Ask your
druggist about it. Sample bottles to try;
sold at 10 cents. Regular size, 10 cents.
Sold by all druggists and dealers in the
United States and Canada.

The new vestibule Pullman palace cars

The new vestibule Pullman palace cars
recently put on between Chicago and New
York City, are brilliantly lighted by cleo
tricity from current supplied by storage
batteries. The light permits the finest
type to be read, and is, therefore, great
boon to travellers, and there is an entire
absence of heat and unpleasant odors.
fully charged battery is capable of light
ing single car for fifteen hours with
twenty-five sixteen-candle power lamps.
This is the first positively accomplished
feat in lighting railroad trains by storage
batteries in this country. Among its
recognized and great advantages is the
immunity it furnishes from fire in case of
accident.

The Easter Island Images.

Lieut.. Stone, who secured the prehistoric
stone image from Easter island for the
Smithsonian institution while attached to the
Mohican, stated to a reporter that the image,
which is now OIL its way here, is about feet
high, 1 feet wide and 3 feet thick. 1t is
roughly carved or hewed. A head of another
image was also secured, and some of the Off
GERS obtained by purchase other curiosities,
which couhl rot he obtained elsewhere, which
the Smithsonian will probably take off their
hands. The images, he said, are scattered all
over the island, although many of them have
been thrown from their pedestals and broken.
1t was customary for the natives to erect
them over the cemeteries. They would bury
their dead in cells with stone walls on three
sides and with an inclined wall of earth in the
rear. They would cover over the burial cells
and form top of flagstones to the platform,
on which would be placed from three to
dozen images overlooking the sea, according
to the size of the platform.
The images were made from conglomerate
stone in the side of crater and hewn with
stone axes, and by cutting through single
stratum the image could be easily separated
from the next stratum and then moved on an
incline and erected. The images are of differ
ent sizes, the largest one being about 70 feet
long, but this was never removed and lies in
its bed in the side of the crater where the
work was commenced. The statue secured
by the Mohican was found about two miles
from the shore. 1t took about eighty men
twodays TO bring it down on rollers. Lieut.
Stone said TIE present inhabitants know
nothing about the images or the fresco deco
ratlons of the houses, but they intuitively
bury their dead in close proximity to these
statutes. Washington Star.

proprietor. A boy about II years old was
pointed out to me. "But want to see the
proprietor" said. II am the proprietor of
this store-what can do for you" exclaimed
the lad. And, sure enough, investigation
proved that he was the actual owner of the
establishment, and nominally the head of the
firm. His father had owned the store, but,
having other business as well and not wishing
to carry them both in his own name, present.
